Different IRC clients

Basic IRC Commands

Commands in IRC are ways to get certain things done. Comamnds will always start with a “ / ”. Commands are typed where you are normally input text when chatting.

Most programs will ask for a username or nickname and then automatically connect you with that Nickname. Also, if you connect via a webchat interface, some may simply have you log in as “ Guest_#### ”. In order to change your nickname execute “ /nick “Desired Username” ” and then press the Enter key.

Moderator Information

Moderators are special users in IRC that watch over the chatroom and make sure that there is no flooding, bad talk, etc. Moderators are typically shown with an @ symbol, although different IRC applications will display them in different ways, you should check the manual for your application to see how it is displayed.
